If you have any questions regarding the operation or assembly of your spreader please call us at 800-294-0671 or 574-848-7491 Monday - Friday 9:00am - 4:00pm Eastern.

Start by ensuring that you spreader calibration is correct. Make sure the holes in the bottom of the hopper are fully open when the Rate Control handle is on #30. If not, please adjust control cable either at the back of the hopper or at the control handle to allow for a full open hopper position at #30. Look for EarthWay® or Ev-N-SprEd® models on the fertilizer for settings. If there are none listed, please use the comparison chart below as a guide to estimate your spreader setting. These settings are approximate and intended as a guide only. Variations in physical characteristics of material applied, walking speed and surface roughness may require slightly different spreader settings. Due to the above conditions, the manufacturer makes no warranty as to the uniformity of coverage actually obtained from settings listed.

eStabliShing a Setting rateStep 1: Use Chart 1 to estimate the number of LBS/1,000 square feet of coverage (Example: 20LB bag with 10,000 square foot coverage = 2.0LBS/1,000 square feet)

Step 2: Find the closest LBS/1,000 square feet in Chart 2 that you estimated using Chart 1 (Example: 2.0LBS/1,000 square feet = Spreader Setting of 13)
